Miley vs. Mommy: San Antonio mom wants Miley Cyrus kept out of her city

1 / 75

SAN ANTONIO – Not since the heavy-metal bands of the '80s have youth been subjected to lewd musical performances like the one Miley Cyrus is bound to put on at the AT&T Center Saturday — that is, according to one San Antonio mother who encouraged the city to pass a so-called "foul-language" ordinance decades ago.Bobbie Mueller addressed the Bexar County commissioners during the public comment period on Tuesday to about the upcoming Miley Cyrus concert. Photo by Helen Montoya.

The ordinance, which is still in place, makes it a Class C misdemeanor to allow children 13 and younger into a performance that would be obscene to a child. Passed by a 7-3 vote, it applies to unaccompanied children at city-owned facilities.

In the ordinance, obscene behavior is defined as containing a "description of or explicit reference to: Anal copulation; Bestial sexual relations; Sadistic, masochistic or violent sexual relationships; Sexual relations with a child; Sexual relations with a corpse; Exhibition of male or female genitals; Rape or incest; or A vulgar or indecent reference to sexual intercourse, excretory functions of the body, or male or female genitals."

One woman behind the ordinance, Bobbie Mueller, spoke to Bexar County commissioners on Tuesday, encouraging them to pass a similar ordinance to protect the children who might be going to the county-owned facility for Cyrus' "Bangerz" tour.

"Miley's concert goes beyond obscene," she said, adding in an interview that she learned of Cyrus' tour from the Concerned Women of America, a national group. Mueller said that Cyrus' use of furry animals appeals to children, but other aspects of her performance are not kid-friendly, including "dwarfs in fitted body suits," "dwarfs with black gloves that enter her buttocks, simulating sodomy," and "phallic symbols that she rides like a pony."

In the '80s, Mueller and other parents attended a dozen rock concerts before concluding that unaccompanied children were rampantly using drugs and needed to be supervised. After a long battle, the ordinance was passed, and Mueller said she hasn't been to a concert since '93 because the ordinance was so effective at cutting down on teenage drug use.

But, she said, she splurged for Cyrus show concert tickets, spending $159 for two. "I want to see for myself in what ways this would help provide safeguards for youth unsupervised," Mueller said. "I'm not saying she can't preform," but children in attendance should be supervised, she said.

Another mother, Rosario Zarb-Cousin, also spoke to commissioners Tuesday, saying, "I'm speaking on behalf of working mothers, who may not know that Hannah Montana no longer supports our youth."

Judge Nelson Wolff said he'd have the county attorney look at the city's ordinance, but said the county doesn't have ordinances and, while it owns the AT&T Center, the San Antonio Spurs Sports & Entertainment operates the facility. After court adjourned Tuesday, Wolff called Spurs President Rick Pych, and left him a message about Mueller's presentation.

"I've been hearing some pretty lewd things," about Cyrus' upcoming performance, Wolff said. Some of her activities are "things that really really stink," he said, asking Pych to look into what, if anything, his organization could do to limit her actions.
